Kailyn Lowry’s Heartbreaking Tell-All: I Had An Abortion After Being Raped

In her new tell-all book Pride Over Pity, Kailyn Lowry reveals heartbreaking details about the traumatic years before she became a ‘Teen Mom.’ New passages revealed from her first book reveal that Kailyn was raped as a freshman in high school, and later made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy that came from it.

Kailyn Lowry, 22, had an incredibly difficult upbringing before becoming a mom at the tender age of 16-years-old. Now, in her first tell-all book, the Teen Mom 2 star is finally opening up about her traumatic sexual abuse.

Kailyn Lowry’s Tell-All: I Was Raped

This Teen Mom should be proud of herself for finding the strength to tell her traumatic story.

“I was too young to understand that I wasn’t ready— physically or emotionally— for sex,” she writes. “I believed then that I had to have sex to keep up with my friends.”

Another reveals that her first high school boyfriend forced her into having sex, and refused to wear a condom — which resulted in her first unplanned pregnancy.

“I didn’t want to sleep with [him], but he persisted,” Kailyn recalls. “Denying him seemed fruitless. I believed Toby loved me, so I decided I could give him this one thing as long as he wore a condom.”

Kailyn’s boyfriend went against her wishes and forced himself on her, which left her pregnant just a couple of months later. So sad.

Kailyn’s Mother Forced Her To Have An Abortion

In the tell-all, Kailny reveals that she first found out she was pregnant by taking a test in a Wal-mart bathroom.

When she told her mom Suzi the news, she was determined to have Kailyn terminate the unplanned pregnancy.

“She was adamant that I would not be allowed to deliver this baby into the world, even though deep down that was what I wanted,” Kailyn confesses.

The abortion took place on Kailyn’s 16th birthday, and caused her severe emotional distress.

“It felt as though they had taken every fiber of my being…I felt a mother’s grief.”

How sad.

We are so happy to see that Kailyn has raised an incredible little boy, Isaac Rivera, and found true love in her husband, Javi Marrouqin.
